lCopwigh, 1857, by the California associated Press
New YORK, June 1st-Governor Hill
returned to Albany more than well pleased
with his reception here. Probably few
men could make as many brief speeches as
he did on patriotic topics within the same
space of time. His political friends are
taken with his eloquence and tact. They
have no doubt that were the State Nomi-
mating Convention in session to-day he
would be named as his own successor
without opposition.

WASHINGTON, j une 1st.-The gold holdings
fthe United States Treasury have increased
$6,000,000 since May 1st. There has been

notes of small denominations continue
heavy and far exceeds the supply. The
appropriation for printing small certificates
is well nigh exhausted, and nothing can
be done to meet the large orders constantly
coming in until further appropriation for
the next fiscal year becomes available.
